With a dark beer as our first and flagship brand, Black Butte defined Deschutes as a radical player. A slight hop bitterness up front enhances the distinctive chocolate and roasted finish. It's prized for its creamy mouthfeel and intense complex flavours.

Smooth & subtle
Excellent porter.

Better in Bend
First drank this porter in the brewery in Bend, Oregon. Fantastic then when it was really fresh. I think it has lost something in the travel to Australia. Good colour but thin palate, although the flavour is OK. As a light porter it is good enough, but there are many bigger richer ones with a really full body.

What a super drop
Porter that hits the spot... Malt, chocolate and the full flavour is awesome!

How I rate other Porters
This has definitely been my favourite example of this style, if you want to know what a great Porter should taste like this is the benchmark. Chocolaty little bit of roast and some slight dark fruit from crystal malt yum
